A SERENE JUDGE.
He Watches a Fight Between At
torneys With Impartial Interest.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 23.-During the
trial of criminal case yesterday after
noon there was collOquy between Col.
George T. Fry, one of the lawyers for
the prosecution, and Col. l.. w. Thomas,
an attorney for the defense. The lie
was given by the former. Immediately
Col. Thomas hurled copy of the
revised statutes at Col. Fry. The
latter hurled a bible at the
former. Then law books rained
thick and fast. Finally Col. Fry
seized heavy iron spittoon and was
about to brain his adversary when bail
ifs and lawyers interfered and wrenched
the weapon from him. Neither gentle
man was hurt in the fight, but one of the
jurors was sprinkled with ink, while a
lawyer received pint of mucilage in
the face, The judge watched the COM
bat with serene disgust, and when quiet
was restored asked the belligerents if
they intended to proceed with the case.
The two attorneys stand at the head of
the Atlanta bar, and have been regarded
as quiet, dignified men.

BROKE HIS NOSE.
A Pinkerton Detective Smashes"
an Anarchist.

CHICAGO, July 23.-The testimony in
the case of Charles Nordrum, charged
with breaking the nose of Albert Bur-
rows, and fined s. by Justice Goings
to-day, revealed the fact that the es-
pionage of the anarchist group in this
CITY instituted by the Citizens asSocia-
ton at the time of the Haymarket riot
is still being kept up. NOrdrum is
Pinkerton detective, but has been for
over year member in good standing
OF the west side group of anarchists.
When he applied for membership in the
Carl Marx assembly he was blackballed
because Burrows declared him to be a
Pinkerten detective. When he heard
this he made the same charge as his
accuser. Burrows was brought in and
NOrdrum made his statement anew.
For moment Burrows was confOunded
but recovering himself frankly pro-
claimed his innocence and called upon
his brothers to ''kill the - PinkertOn
spy," at the same time striking viciously
at the detective, who backed out of the
crowd. A few hours later the men
again met at Wah'S saloon, 496 Milwau-
kee avenue, over which another assem-
bly, regularly met. Again Burrows
called out that NOrdrum was spy, and
attempted to get other members on him.
He again struck at him, and in return
had his nose broken by blow from the
detectives fist. At this moment two
officers of the city came upon the scene
and the anarchists ran down an adjOin
ing alley. In giving his testimony the
detective said: Il have in my posses
sion now evidence which would send
almost every one of them to the peni-
tentiary. William PrOuckS, the hall
keeper, who saw the row between Bur-
rows and myself take place, stated to
me that he was always apprehensive that
trouble would arise, but as he needed
the money from the hall rent he allowed
them to go Oh with their meetings.
While waiting the night of July to get
information regarding 496 Milwaukee
avenue | met an old anarchist named
A. HanSetman. who told me that
large number of old rifles had been sent
to a shop on South Clinton street to be
repaired and fixed up. When l asked
what that was done for, as everything
seemed to be moving smoothly, he re-
piled, quietly: Maybe we need them
some day. These guns l afterward dis
coved belong to the Lehr Und Wehr
Verein and were kept by Bohme at 46
CRYSTAL street. As to the Carl Mark
assembly, Henry Lindemayer was the
secretary and the most Red in the lot.
Among the members there are j. NJ.
MinSel, SO91 Milwaukee avenue, and
Henry Dahmeyer, 120 Augusta street,
who are men who do not Scruple to give
utterance to strong language from an
anarchiStic standpoint"

THE STEWART CASE.
More Litigation Instituted by
ALLEGED Heirs.

New YORK, july 2S.-Mrs.J.Lawrence
Smith, niece of the late Mrs. Stewart,
has brought suit against Judge Hilton
for an accounting, and to set aside the
transfer of the Stewart dry goods busi-
ness, made by Mrs. Stewart in 1876 TO
Mr.. Hilton as unlawful and against
the rights of the heirs, and as not in
accordance with the intentions of Mr..
Stewart as expressed in his will.
The S1.OOQ.OOO willed to Judge
Hilton was intended, it is declared,
as a full discharge of all obligations of
The estate to Judge Hilton for conduct
ing or closing out business. Mrs. Smith
is mother-in-law of Prescott Hall Butler.
who has a suit pending against Mr.. IIil
ton to break Mrs. Stewards will on the
ground of undue influence. There is a
clause in Mrs. Stewards Will that any
heir contesting it shall forfeit his or
her legacy. but Mrs. Smiths lawyers
evidently think that bringing suit to
set aside transfer of property made
prior to decease is not contest TO the
will. Mr.. Hilton takes contrary view.
The property transferred includes both
the Chambers street and the Tenth
street buildings, and the good will of
the business.

HYDROPHOBIA.
Death of a Chicago Infant in
Great Agony.

1reaC Agony
CHICAGO, July 23.-Arthur Mueller,
aged two years, died yesterday of hydro
phobia. Five weeks ago last Sunday
the family was at garden and the boy
was playing outside, when small black
dog rushed up to the little fellow. bit
ing him on the third finger of the left
hand and scratching him slightly on the
cheek. The father was called to the
child by his cries, and was himself Bit
ten on the thumb by the dog. Mr..
Mueller then shot the animal, Subse-
quently going to an adjoining drug
store to have their wounds dressed. For
some reason the wound of Mueller was
cauterized, but that of his son was not,
the child'S wounds being only treated
with carbOlic Salve. AS the wounds
of the child healed rapidly no further
attention was paid to the matter, and
when he was taken sick last Wednesday
evening no one thought of the dog bite
of some weeks ago as being the cause of
the illness. On Thursday morning the
child was so ill that doctor was called,
and on first examination attributed the
illness to Overheating. The same even
ing the boy was attacked by the we'll
known symptoms of hydrOphObia, which
lasted throughout the night, and on
yesterday morning when the doctor
called again it was seen there was little
hope of the child'S recovery. He
fingered until the afternoon, when he
died in great agony.

Goschen, and other Conservatives had
contended that to interfere with rent
contracts would be dishonest. 1t was use

STOOD OFF" A MOB
A Missouri Preacher Declined to

ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-Elder j. W.
Henry is pastor of the Christian church
at Odessa, Mo. He is fOrty-three years
old, married and has three children.
The McHaItan family is prominent
one, and Miss Mollie McHaltan, the
eldest daughter, who recently went on
a visit. returned three days ago with
her little child. When questioned she
said Elder Henry was the cause of her
downfall. Thursday night mob visited
the preachers house fully prepared
to tar and feather him. He had
received warning, however, and when
the gate turned on its hinges to admit
the mob the door of the house opened,
disclosing the form of the preacher, gun
in hand. STOP" said he. Il will shoot
the first man who enters my yard"
They stopped and held meeting to de-
termine what to do. Various plans
were suggested, but all the time the
grim-visaged man in the doorway kept
his gun in his hand and his face to the
foe. Presently he asked them to hear
him. They listened. He told them he
was innocent; that he would not run
away from an investigation, but would
certainly protect his home and person
to the best of his ability. The mob
then retired. Public sympathy is with
the young woman.

A BIG SCHEME.
Telegraphers Trying to Buy the
Baltimore & Ohio System.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, July 2S.-It is stated that
the Br otherhood of Telegraphers of the
United States have made a proposition
to purchase the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph company. The sum they offer is
$3, 3,OOO, 900. This is said to be exactly the
amount offered by Mr.. Gould. The
brotherhood offer to pay $500, 900 cash on
the acceptance of their proposition, and
to pay the remaining S2,500,0O0 at the
end of six months. This large sum it
proposed to raise by assessing each
member of the brotherhood $50 per
month for six months. There are q, 900
members, and the leaders among them
entertain no doubt of their ability to
raise the sum required. The PROPOSE
ton is one that is looked upon with
favor by the members, and they eX-
press confidence that every man among
them would devote himself with zeal to
the task of raising the S3,000,000 and
meet the assessments promptly. The
assessment paid by each member of the
brotherhood would make him stock
holder in the company and share the
profits.

vious good character of the defendants.
1t is understood that the prosecution is
ready to meet them on this line,
and that testimony in rebuttal will be
offered. The trial is expected to last

New ALBANY, Ind, July 23.-The
'sWhite Caps" were again at their viii
famous work in Grange and Crawford
counties yesterday. Thomas Burton,
aged thirty, married and lawabiding
farmer, was compelled to leave his
home and come here for safety. The
.sWhite Caps" threatened his life if he
did not leave. Wesley Reilly. of Union
vile, was taken from his bed to the
woods and received a terrible
beating with switches for some al
legged petty family trouble. So un-.
mercifully was Reilly whipped that his
life is despaired Of. Justices of the
peace and the conStabies seem to be in
sympathy with these gangs of outlaws,
now numbering over 100 in these coun-
ties, and make no effort to arrest them.
Pandemonium reigns, and affairs are
now in such a 1amentable condition that
farmers will be compelled to leave their
homes. Gov. Gray will be called upon
by committee of f armers and asked to
take some action. The farmers will
recommend the ordering out of state
troops, that seeming to be the only
means by which these scoundrels can
be driven from the community.
